Next Level Performance

Next Level Performance Develops Athletes

At Next Level Performance (NLP), we help athletes discover their purpose through instilling a selfless pursuit of excellence beyond the game.

NLP delivers sport-specific training with a primary focus on leadership and character development. We believe a purpose driven athlete can be a positive force for change in the world. Each Next Level student-athlete will develop the tools to become a better athlete and develop life skills to be a positive influence in their communities. We build servant-leaders, because athletics will end, but the lessons learned lasts a lifetime.

As the leader in sport specific training and leadership development, we develop world class leaders who are committed to a lifetime of service and success. Next level Performance is for athletes who are serious about improving their performance on and off the field. Our experienced staff is dedicated to developing character and a community of servant leaders through sport specific training, leadership conferences and private lessons.

Each training session is infused with leadership guidance that will improve every athlete’s game.

In addition to our travel volleyball club program, our experienced coaching staff offers skill development sessions to help female student-athletes work on their skills for play at their respective schools. Volleyball clinics are ran multiple times a year.

Of all the injuries to athletes related to contact and non-contact sports, knee injuries are the most common. It has been reported that female athletes are 3-6 times more likely to sustain a non-contact rupture of their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee than male athletes. Furthermore, soccer and basketball report the greatest number of female ACL injuries. Male athletes are not immune and do experience high rates of non-contact ACL injury in football and soccer.

Next Level Performance’s speed & agility training enables all athletes to improve their performance across multiple sports with an emphasis on explosion, quickness, proper technique, and injury prevention. Every training session includes leadership & character development that goes beyond the game.

Next Level Performance’s strength training program focuses on the foundations of proper technique and functionally sound movement. As basic techniques are mastered, athletes will progress to more advanced movements. Key pillars of the program include.

She is very happy in these workouts. We couldn’t be more pleased. Plus, the added benefit is she has learned a lot! We were with another club before this and our daughter said: ‘I learned more in one week here than in the previous 3 months prior to this!’
